It turns out, they were the main characters.

Yu Xuanji sat on the stone chair, her two long, jade-like legs crossed, playing with the teacup in her hand. Suddenly, she chuckled and said, "This young master of the Mu family is quite interesting. I have never seen anyone so close to Junior Sister Lan before."

Yu Ziyan smiled faintly, "Although Mu Zhian is only at the Qi Refining Realm, his way of dealing with people is something that most disciples in the sect lack. It's not surprising that he can attract your attention, Junior Sister."

These disciples who joined the sect, apart from a few who were independent cultivators, were mostly children of certain large families. They were spoiled and pampered, and others always echoed them; they never echoed others.

However, after arriving at the Liangyi Sect, everyone's status became equal, and there were no one to echo their sentiments, so they all felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Judging from Mu Zhian's appearance, it's clear that this young man must have interacted with others frequently when he was in Tianxuan City, which explains why he was able to attract Lan Mulian's attention.

"Perhaps she also knows the secret of the cauldron in young friend Mu's furnace?" Yu Xuanji pursed her delicate lips and gazed at the young man's figure in the distance.

As she said this, she glanced at the Dao Peak leader beside her, who always displayed an unapproachable "goddess" demeanor in front of her disciples, and smiled:

"You two, fellow disciples, are truly cunning. You probably already knew Mu Zhi'an's secret. The reason you didn't tell anyone else is that you wanted to enjoy the innate furnace all to yourself, right?"

Yu Ziyan shook her head and said calmly, "I only found out about this later. At first, I just wanted to help Mu Zhian speed up his cultivation because he is my junior sister's disciple."

"After all, with his talent, he shouldn't be stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining right now."

Yu Xuanji looked at Yu Ziyan, who had a serious expression, with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ha, that's what they say, but really they just want him to reach the Divine Refinement Realm as soon as possible to help their own cultivation...

Of course, she might think it, but she wouldn't say it out loud.

After all, speaking out would only provoke a counterattack from the other party.

As for the reasons...

Yu Ziyan came to Tianhe Garden today to deliver pills, hoping that Mu Zhian could focus on his cultivation and reach the Refining Spirit Realm as soon as possible.

And wasn't she the same way?

Yu Xuanji inadvertently withdrew her gaze and stared at Lan Mulian, who was dressed in a white dress and exuded an ethereal aura by the pond in front of her. She said, "If Junior Sister Lan enters the Void Returning Realm in the future, she can also take on disciples if she is willing."

"Given her relationship with Mu Zhi'an, will she take Mu Zhi'an as her disciple in the future?"

“Junior Sister Lan doesn’t care about anything other than cultivation, so how could she possibly take on a disciple?” Yu Ziyan slowly shook her head.

"Besides, my junior sister probably won't let Mu Zhi'an leave the library... In the end, I don't think Mu Zhi'an is the kind of disciple who would betray his sect."

As he said this, a hint of regret appeared in the eyes of the Dao Peak leader.

When the inner disciples were being selected, they all immediately chose those monstrous geniuses. However, that junior sister did the opposite and accepted Mu Zhian as an inner disciple without saying a word.

At first, she was puzzled by the other person's reason for doing so, and even thought that her junior sister might be doing something stupid.

Now it seems that she was the one who reacted too slowly.

If Mu Zhi'an were at Dao Peak right now, he could give it a try even without reaching the Refining Spirit Realm...

"I should have competed with Junior Sister Yan again that day," Yu Xuanji suddenly sighed, revealing Yu Ziyan's true feelings.

Yan Ruyu, this woman, had never taken the initiative to accept an inner disciple before, but that time she was the first among these chief disciples to accept an inner disciple, which is a bit strange when you think about it.

At the time, they all assumed that Yan Ruyu did this because of the spirit dragon behind Mu Zhian, so they didn't investigate further.

Looking back now, it was a golden opportunity that I missed...

No matter how much "favor" she shows Mu Zhian now, and how much "concern" an elder has for a younger generation, it will certainly be far less than the "favor" Yan Ruyu showed when she chose Mu Zhian without hesitation.

What he did that day must have left a very deep impression on Mu Zhian.

Thinking of this, both Yu Xuanji and Yu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh softly.

In the future, Mu Zhian will indeed advance to the Refining Spirit Realm. Yan Ruyu will be both Mu Zhian's "guide" and his "mentor".

Moreover, the respect Mu Zhian showed when he mentioned Yan Ruyu not long ago clearly demonstrates just how much this disciple admires that Pavilion Master Yan.

In the future, once the little cabbage has grown up, Yan Ruyu only needs to call Mu Zhian to the villa, sit on a chair, cross her legs, hook her embroidered shoes with her toes, and casually beckon him with her finger, and he will probably be completely captivated.

Moreover, since the other party is an inner disciple of the Library Pavilion, even if the heads of the other main peaks have any ideas in the future, they will not be able to summon Mu Zhi'an to their own cave immediately.

You can only have a sip of soup after all the bok choy has been eaten.

As the two were pondering these thoughts, two other people nearby arrived in front of the pavilion.

Mu Zhian walked up to the two senior disciples who held extremely high positions within the sect, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I apologize for keeping you two waiting."

Yu Ziyan shook her head and smiled: "There's no need to be so formal, please sit down."

After he finished speaking, he personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Then, he glanced casually at Lan Mulian sitting opposite him.

"It seems we rarely see Junior Sister Lan leave Liangyi Peak, so today is quite unusual," Yu Ziyan said with a smile.

Although Lan Mulian is at the peak of the Refining Spirit realm, as the sect leader's disciple, her seniority is naturally not much lower than that of the other chief disciples.

Whether it was the South Bank or the North Bank, or even the disciples of the Nine Peaks, they all knew Lan Mulian's identity, and they also knew that she rarely left Liangyi Peak in the past, and spent most of her time meditating and cultivating.

Just as Mu Zhian had predicted, her senior sister was a homebody.

Now, the aloof Lan Mulian has actually left Liangyi Peak and even come to Tianhe Garden... This makes people pay attention.

Is it because of the Spirit Dragon incident?

Or is it... because of Mu Zhian?

Lan Mulian removed her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. She smiled faintly and said, "I am already at the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm. No matter how much I cultivate, I will not make any progress. Rather than staying cooped up in Liangyi Peak, I might as well come out and relax. Perhaps I will gain some new insights."

The reason why those in the Returning to Emptiness Realm are called 'Land Immortals' is because there are so few of them.

There are quite a few Void Returning Realm cultivators within the Two Elements Sect, but that doesn't mean there are actually many Void Returning Realm cultivators throughout the Nine Provinces.

Once you reach the Returning to the Void Realm, you can dominate any place in the Nine Provinces, and you will be able to look down on others with absolute invincibility.

When they visited various powerful families, they would be treated as honored guests, and people would go to great lengths to please them.

When some cultivators at the Returning Void Realm occasionally travel through the Nine Provinces, they are noticed by various families, who will then send people to secretly probe their intentions, sending them pills and women, with the aim of hoping that the cultivators will rest in the family for a while.

A family with a Void Returning Realm expert in charge can reap far too many benefits during this period.

Yu Ziyan nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Coming out for a walk occasionally might bring new insights and perhaps help you reach the Void Returning Realm sooner."

Lan Mulian picked up her teacup, took a small sip, gazed at the two senior sisters, and smiled faintly, "And what brings you two senior sisters here?"

Yu Ziyan's two disciples are the Ye sisters, while Yu Xuanji's two inner disciples this time are Lan Feiying and Luo Yuan.

They had no reason to come to Tianhe Garden.

But these two chief disciples just happened to come, and they even brought so many pills for Qi Refining cultivators.

This is clearly a pill for Mu Zhian.

"The reason why Ye Lingxuan chose my Dao Peak that day was, in a sense, because of young friend Mu. Therefore, this is a small gift to thank him." Yu Ziyan smiled and found a very legitimate reason.

"My disciple Luo Yuan had a conflict with Friend Mu a few days ago, so I came here to see what happened and also to visit Senior Linglong." Yu Xuanji casually offered the same reason.

They didn't want more people to know about the innate furnace, since there weren't enough to go around now, and it would be even more troublesome if there were two or three more people.

Although the two chiefs were unaware of this, Lan Mulian had already known about it back in Tianxuan City.

Lan Mulian's eyes flickered slightly, clearly still harboring some doubts about the two chiefs' motives.

But she didn't ask any further questions; instead, she silently took a sip of tea.

Since the two leaders don't want to talk about it, there's no point in her pressing them further.

The two chiefs had no intention of staying at Tianhe Garden for long, and with Lan Mulian's arrival, they only chatted briefly with Mu Zhian before leaving Tianhe Garden.

Lan Mulian gazed silently at the departing two chiefs, her eyes filled with melancholy.

The reasons given by these two leaders were a bit far-fetched.

Would two high-ranking sect leaders condescend to visit a disciple's home for such a trivial matter, just to deliver pills?

Lan Mulian composed herself, her expression cool and aloof, a faint smile on her face, and looked at Mu Zhian, asking, "Have you taken the Advancement Pill yet?"

"Thanks to Senior Sister, after taking it, I have directly advanced a grade and am one step closer to the Refining Spirit Realm," Mu Zhian said sincerely.

Lan Mulian hummed in agreement and continued, "You can start thinking about the path to the Refining Spirit Realm in advance, so as not to get stuck at the peak of Qi Refining for too long in the future and delay your cultivation."

Mu Zhian nodded humbly.

Then she suddenly asked, "Senior Sister seems to have been at the peak of the Spirit Refinement stage for some time now. Could it be that you've encountered some difficulties?"

If I remember correctly, this Senior Sister Lan was already at the peak of the Refinement God Realm back in Tianxuan City, so it seems like it's been quite some time.

"It's not exactly difficult, it's just that we need to lay a solid foundation again," Lan Mulian said.

"I should be able to advance to the Void Returning Realm within six months."

"Then you can start taking on apprentices, right?" Mu Zhian asked tentatively.

Lan Mulian glanced at him and said indifferently, "I can take on disciples, but I won't take on dissolute and unruly ones."

I didn't intend to become your disciple anyway... Mu Zhian looked at Lan Mulian's pretty face and her cold eyes, and said helplessly, "It seems that you have some misunderstanding about me. I am a very devoted person and I also value my promises."

"Oh?"

This senior sister, as noble and elegant as a snow lotus atop a snow-capped mountain, now had a faint smile on her face: "If I remember correctly, someone once promised to treat me to different flavors of osmanthus cake. And then what?"

Is that so? I don't recall it at all... Mu Zhian said, "If Senior Sister wants something ordinary, I will buy it for you tomorrow."

It takes about three or four hours to fly from Liangyi Sect to Tianxuan City. If you speed up, the time can be shortened even further.

It was tiring, but it was all worth it to pursue that aloof goddess.

"No need, you should just focus on your cultivation."

Lan Mulian said, "When you reach the Refining God Realm in the future, it will be much easier for you to go to Tianxuan City."

After she finished speaking, she stood up at the right moment and said, "The matter of the Heavenly Dao Qi has been leaked, so be it. At least no one in the sect will pay attention to you. However, you should still be careful if you leave the sect in the future, because such a sacred object will inevitably attract the covetousness of some people."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister!" Mu Zhian said, clasping her hands in a fist salute.

He then glanced at Senior Sister Lan's flawless and beautiful face and said, "Let me see you off, Senior Sister."

After saying that, he left Tianhe Garden side by side with Lan Mulian.

In front of the Glazed Tile Palace.

There was quite a commotion in the square from the very beginning, and the reason for this was that two chiefs had personally visited Tianhe Garden that day, and after that, the noble and elegant Senior Sister Lan also came.

The two chief disciples have just left, but Senior Sister Lan is still in Tianhe Garden.

It would be a lie to say that these disciples didn't admire Lan Mulian. However, due to her unattainable status and personality, they could only keep these feelings hidden in their hearts.
